Meatless Mondays: Vegan Granola Bars

Our whole wheat pastry flour is the unsung hero of these granola bars. If you can't find this product locally, regular whole wheat flour will work just fine.

Don’t let the “v” word scare you. Vegan food has come a long way in recent years and, from my experience, can be just as wonderful as their more conventional counterparts. Baked goods can be moist, delicious, and healthy when made vegan and main dishes can deliver a wide variety of flavors that you may never have tried before.

While these granola bars are not exactly a main dish, although I’m sure they could be, they make a great treat for breakfast or snack when you’re on the go. They’re not really what I picture when I think of a granola bar; they are moist and chewy with a texture more like a really good brownie than a crunchy granola bar. These have quickly become a favorite here at the mill and we get requests for this recipe frequently from our Facebook friends. Enjoy!
